Abstract :
A middleware for the Internet of Things (IoT) diverse application protocol is proposed in this paper, which is based on a system - intelligent work scene "SmartScene" using RFID and ZigBee protocols. With the proposed middleware, this system shields the difference between ZigBee and RFID data processing by defining the protocol conversion and mapping model. A common service interface for upper applications is also provided, which allows the upper applications to focus on the service level development and reduce the coupling with the underlying hardware and protocol. Moreover, it reduces the development effort greatly, and enhances the upper application versatility and reusability. Thus, this method can serve as a reference to other multi-protocol IoT applications.
